my brake light went on and off while i was driving. I was wondering if any of you guys experienced this issue and brought in to the dealership. Thx!

I was hitting some hard turns and my brake light flashed and beeped, my service tech told me I was low on fluid, I asked him which kind to get and he said its expensive and to just bring it by and he would top it off for me. Thats my experience with it.

Yeah, I had the same thing happen to me. I actually posted a thread about this last week. I discovered that it was happening because of low brake fluid. Its not expensive at all. If you buy it make sure what ever you buy meets or exceeds the DOT-4 specs. Almost any auto place should sell it. The first place that I went to had it, it was about 3 bucks. Just top it off and you should be set. (theres a max fill line)

Had the same thing happen, called the dealership. The tech told me to bring it in, and when I got there they topped it off for free. Your dealership might not do that, but it doesn't hurt to ask right?

Little things like this usually doesn't cost the dealer service dept. anything. I went in for a checkup due to a tail lamp malfunction and the tech came out with some tools and replaced it on the spot in like 5 minutes - it was a so called "burnt out bulb", the kind that likes to work whenever it wants to.
Also, the service department gets perks from Audi of N.A. too based on the overall customer satisfaction rating. They record every event (from literally nothing to warranty work, etc.) and Audi will do a follow-up call to the client (you) afterwards. If all questions are answered 'Excellent', then the service writers will receive their CSI bonuses.
Doesn't hurt, it's a win-win on both sides...that is if you're still warranted.
